Ted Pearson: It fell to me to write the opening essay of the final volume, "Etude X: Threads," which I chose to read straight through. I wanted to reflect on issues raised in earlier volumes and to project their continuing relevance. As well, I wanted to locate ours as an actively productive "community of practice," a concept I discuss at some length.
